“before we knew who he was. “Who is someone we don’t know today, “but will in the future?” – Are they commenting
or are they liking it? – [Don] I was getting hammered
at first for a bad angle but I think I cleaned it up.
(everybody laughs) – Okay, got it. Okay, good, good to know. Wasn’t really asking about
how they were dissing you. Are they enjoying the content? – [Don] Yeah.
– Okay, good, good, good, good, good, good.
(everybody laughs) – [India] From Kyle.
– Kyle. – “You thanked Travis Kalanick in ’09, “before you knew who he was.” – Oh, this guy’s asked
this questions a thou. I was, you really made him
sweat this one out, India. – [India] I didn’t.
– I saw this question on social a lot.
– [India] Really? – Yeah, yeah I saw it. Anyway, go ahead. – [India] “Who is someone
we don’t know today, “but will in the future?” – The reason, who asked that?
– [India] Kyle. – Kyle, the reason I didn’t
send India this question and say, “Hey, you need to ask this.” Because I saw you
pounding it over and over. So, great perseverance. Way to get on the show. Is ’cause I don’t think
I have an answer to that. There is one entrepreneur, a
guy by the name of Ben Cera who created Facefeed, who’s
doing some consulting now on the west coast, who I think is magical. C-E-R-A and there’s an
amazing amount of people that I think are real winners, just tons. But nobody that makes me feel like they, Ben Cera’s the only one
that makes me like he’s got a trillion dollar execution in him. So that’s the answer. And the truth is, it’s still
early intuition on Ben Cera. Compared to with Travis, I just knew. Which only speaks to the
Uber miss on the angel round multiple times even more baffling. It’s really the great mystery of my life. – [India] That’s unusual.

– [Voiceover] Jim asks, “Where do you see the health
and wellness industry “going in the next five years?” – Jim, I think it’s much
of the same that we’ve seen over the last five years. I think we’ve never seen such growth, and everybody caring about their health. I got caught up into it, I
think we’re eating better that even, we’re more
educated about food than ever, I think people working out more than ever, I think the vanity of
Instagram and selfies, I think everybody here
wants to look better than they used to, I think
we’re becoming PR versions of ourselves, so I think
people putting in more work, I mean, especially with butts, you know, with butts you can
actually put in the work. Like, you can actually
make your butt better by putting in the squats, so
I think people really focusing on that, that’s clearly been a trend. It’s just true. You know, and so, and so I think more than
ever, one other thing, back on the 360 point of view on this. I’m seeing an enormous meditation trend growing in the US, I will
argue that five years from now, which is a long time from today, a lot more people are doing meditation on an everyday basis. The way we probably saw yoga play out the last 15 years. So, I see a lot, a lot
more focus on longevity, health, and I think what I like is, because of information
exchange on the internet, I think we’re seeing a
lot more healthy ways to go about it, I think
if you look at the 80s, and early 90s, a lot
of the ways that people wanted to get younger
was by having surgery, and I think more and
more people are trying to actually do something about it in their 20s, 30s, 40s. I’m so impressed with the healthiness that the US health culture has
exploded over the last decade, and I see much of the same tripling down. I think there’s a lot
of upside in that space. I think that means a
lot more scammy, quick, buck-making people are
gonna join the space, I think we’ve seen that. I think every fitness guru now thinks they’re an entrepreneur and
wants to sell their program, or their shake. A lot of the same DNA that
being great at working out and discipline map to
being an entrepreneur, yet, I find a lot of people that are strong at working out every
day don’t put the same vigor and work into their business, which I find very intriguing, so that’s kind of what I see happening.

myself, what was the most
important thing you did in your 30s to change your future? – PK why don’t you take that. He’s about to turn 30. – That’s a great question,
and the answer is, I took a deep breath, stepped back,
and I said to myself, where did I kind of want to be in the next 10 to 20 years then. I actually was working at Gillette. I worked there twice and
this was 72-78 and I took a step back and I said you
know, I wanted to be in a position between the ages
of 32 to 35, where I can make a decision to either stay
corporate America on a fast track and doing all those things etc. or shift gears and go into
a small start up, or smaller business environment and write
a couple of my own patents. A bit of an entrepreneurial
spirit, but I wasn’t in a position where I really had those choices. I wasn’t getting
inundated by smaller start ups or new ventures. I so I said you know what,
and I love Gillette they were doing great, and they were
by me and everything that counted, and I said
you know, I gotta get into the New York area, and I
made a decision to move into New York, with a large company
whom I communicated with and said hey for 3 to 5 years,
I’m gonna beat the bushes and see if I want to stay
or go into small business. So that’s kind of when I
stepped back and I said and the rest is history. – That’s cool. So, Peter was there, because
I married Lizzy when I was 28, turned 29 on our wedding night, and so he saw this, which a
lot of you have heard before, which is right at 30 I kind of
freaked out a little bit and started really putting
the pedal to the metal, started Wine Library TV right
after it, and as much as I worked and as intensely
as I worked in my late 20s, 30 started the process of this
insanity that I’m executing against now. So, I just wanna buy the
Jets, but I didn’t think I was going fast enough, and so I
also took a step back and said where am I gonna be in 10 or
20 years, let me make sure my behavior maps it. So, I think if you’re entering
your 30s, I think it’s really smart to think about your 40s and 50s. – So what Gary does on
intuition and gut, and heart, and passion, I kind of did
over my career, maybe in a little more disciplined,
little more balanced, left brain, right brain way,
and it was a driver of why we decided to write the
book, Think to Win, was to try to bring some very
simple concepts and how tos in the world of strategy
and execution to folks who are working in small,
medium, large, companies, public or private, even in
the not for profit sector, where they can take a step
back and say hey look, here are a few principles,
a few how tos, to get folks aligned, fact based– – Yep. – Not myth based, and get
aligned on key issues, key opportunities, and how do we execute. Yogi Berra, who I was a
big fan of, and yes I do have a signed picture from
Don Larson and Yogi Berra. – Cause all of you were curious. – Curious of that, who said,
“A good batter will always be “a good pitcher, and vice versa.” – He is the best. – I’m a believer in good
strategy always drives good execution, and vice
versa, and that’s kind of what this book is about,
a more disciplined way to kind of those how tos to let some power strategic thinking can work. – Tremendous right hook
Peter, let’s go India. – [Voiceover] Ryan asks, “How
do you deal with drama in “the workplace, and how do
you avoid having more drama?”

“What’s the next industry
to be turned upside down “because they aren’t
adjusting business models “to fit changes in technology?” – I mean, the answer is everything. You need the breakout product. The reason the hotel industry and the limousine service
industry have been thrown upside down is because entrepreneurs came and
attacked it full-throttle. You know, the refrigerator, appliances, smart appliances are coming
so all appliances are on-call. Retail. Brands now can go direct to consumer. So, you know, I think
we’ll see that play out over the next 10 years. TV, big media conglomerate companies have to adjust to the
over-the-top networks and all the infrastructure
they have in place to be very expensive to produce
television-like products when people can just do it like this. Or over-the-top as a
new distribution game. The internet is the middle man. Period. And so anybody who was in the middle is on-call. And that’s most things. And so I think every industry
is prime for disruption. It’s why I’m so excited
about this generation. It’s why, back to the film, it’s why I do believe
a 48-year-old who has a nine-to-six job can
do something about it from seven to two in the
morning if they wanna be an entrepreneur because
there’s so much opportunity, so ripe. So many things are convoluted. The way we get wills. There’s a start-up I got
involved with that’s incredible. Abortion. Abortion is such an emotionally
tough thing to begin with. If you’re in that position oftentimes, generalizing obviously, it can
be an offensive move as well, but when you’re going
through something like that, and then you have to go through
the convoluted paperwork where an app can solve
everything in a minute. Like, literally anything that takes time. The DMV. Like, anything that takes time that is predicated on paper or legacy or keeping humans in jobs, like toll-booth collectors. Like, come on, it’s 2016. I mean, like seriously? No disrespect and you might be watching and you are or have a friend or relative that’s a toll-booth collector. Like no joke, they could make that money doing something that can
probably do them more upside than sitting on their
phone playing Angry Birds. I mean, it’s insanity. And there’s a lot of insanity out there. And I’m excited about insanity
getting punched in the mouth by innovation. Innovation, insanity.

– So, I’m an investor. – Okay, that’s something. – So my, my, my thought of it
is disproportionately jaded, not to mention I love Casey. He’s been on the show, as you know. I think it’s absolutely going to happen. Of course, I desperately
want Casey to do it, because I’d love him in it, and I’ve invested in the company, but, right now, the amount of people that would be interested in seeing
what I’m seeing is high, meaning, I really would
actually, I don’t, so, I don’t love music concerts so much, but I would absolutely right
now, if Beme worked at scale the right way, the way
I see it in the future, through glasses or contact
lenses, if I could watch what Taylor Swift is seeing
when she’s performing in front of a hundred thousand
people at Wembly Stadium, that’d be cool, I’d watch
that a little bit, right? I’d love to watch what
an athlete is seeing as they’re going on the field. Or, me in a business
meeting, just like as I enter and how it flows, how my,
you could actually really figure me out, of how I
sell, just by how I behave, if you actually saw how I am seeing it.
– Yeah. – So, I think first-person
viewing and disappearing, the way life actually
works, is gonna win in the, so, I hope he wins, but, so,
I believe in the thesis 100%, because, look, the contact lenses are coming.
– Yeah. – Like, they’re coming,
and you’re going to be able to record and watch. They’re not even going to
be knowing if somebody’s recording or watching, so
that means we’re all going to be living and believing
it’s always going on. – Yeah. – The world’s going in a
very interesting place. So, I think he’s, it’s
very progressive and I’m excited about it, I think
it goes way beyond the phone, and that’s why I’m bullish on it.

– Gary, what’s going on? This is Brandon Marshall.
– [Gary] B Marshall. – Question. What can I do now to set up myself for business
when I’m done playing ball? Thank you. – Brandon, first of all, thank you for helping me
curate this tremendous show. I’m super excited. As you can tell, by wearing
your number 15 t-shirt. You’re gonna rebrand 15
in green the proper way. You like that, Andrew? There’s a lot of things you could be doing to prepare for life after football. I think a lot of it has
to do around networking with the right people
in the business world, or any other place you want to go into. Especially when you have celebrity status as a football player you can
leverage that during your time. It’s amazing, I’ve watched this happen with a lot of my athlete friends. It’s amazing. The level of leverage lost the
second a player stops playing from literally the day before. It’s incredible. And, so, while you’re active
being in the New York market is a tremendous opportunity. You have a huge opportunity
to leverage that, because you have access
to so many individuals. So, what I think you have to do is reverse engineer what
you want to accomplish, and then start networking
and using that celebrity to get access to people
and start learning, and start executing, start
making real relationships. So they’re tangible relationships, and they’re not built on, “Oh, I want to hang out with
my favorite football player.” They’re real relationships post-football where you actually have that rapport. And you go into business, or motivation, or nonprofit, or whatever is your driver. And, so, there’s that. Brandon, I’m gonna give you
a little prediction here.

– [Gary] My quarterback. – I wanted to ask you about franchises. Specifically, fast food
chains and the pros and cons of getting involved with that business. And the second part of that question, how much money does Chick-fil-A lose in being closed on Sundays? Thanks. Look forward to your response. – Fitz, super excited for
the starting quarterback to start off this tremendous show. First of all, epic beard. I mean, geez Louise. I thought I was bringing
it a couple months ago. That thing is a beast. Super excited. A little quick shout out to
my brother-in-law, Alex Klein. I’d yelled at him
profusely in 2009 and ’10, telling him Fitzpatrick was
better than our quarterback. And, so, now I get my
chance five years later to have Fitz QB this team up. I’m excited to see you Sunday, Fitz. Great question, you know. You’d expect that from a Harvard grad. I think the QSR business
is really intriguing. Once dominated by McDonald’s, Burger King, couple of other players,
Wendy’s, Pizza Hut, things of that nature. What we’re seeing now is fast casual and a whole revolution. Whether it’s Shake Shack, Chipotle, different things of that nature. And then a bunch of sub
brands popping up everywhere. So many of my entrepreneurial friends are jumping into the space higher quality food,
different marketing tactics. I think we’re gonna see
the biggest shift in quick serve restaurants that we’ve seen in the last 50 years
happen over the next 20. And, so, for entrepreneurs out there I think it’s a very
intriguing business model. It’s a tough business. The restaurant business
is a tough business, but when it hits, it hits for real. And, so, I’m a big fan of the industry. I’ve been looking at it. I’ve been looking, and
poking, and prodding into is there any opportunities
for me to get involved in it? Here a little fun fact,
and if you in Jersey know, Wine Library sits right
next to a Taco Bell. Dad and I just bought that
Taco Bell a couple months ago. It’s sitting empty for extra parking. I’ve been thinking about coming up– Staphon, get in here. I’ve been thinking about
creating some brand from scratch. I’ve been thinking about
creating some brand from scratch. So, I’m looking for any
chef partners out there that have always wanted
to do premium hotdogs or some other random idea. I’m open for business. So, Fitz, I think it’s
an interesting industry with a lot of opportunity, with the biggest shift
in it’s opportunities in maybe a half a century coming up. As for Chick-fil-A, they lose
a ton of business on Sundays. But I think, for the people
that know that business and the family that runs it, they’re more passionate about the reasons they’re closed for that. And I respect that
everybody’s got the things that matter to them most. For example, the Jets matter to me most. If, during Sunday’s game at 1:00 o’clock, at 1:47 I get 8,000 texts
emergency, emergency, and I look, and I’m told by friends and family that the liquor industry and the internet have been shut down forever, I could care less. All I want to make sure is that the Jets are whipping the Browns’ faces. So, everybody’s got their own religion. That’s my answer.

“What is your biggest goal heading into “the homestretch of 2015?” – My biggest goal, professionally, is where I’m gonna go with
this, is to set up VaynerMedia for it’s biggest year, get
all my venture capital, and investing world in
order, a lot of transition, a lot of exciting stuff coming
that you’ll be hearing about, wrap up the book, very much focus on Resy and BRaVe and FaithBox, the businesses that I’m, and Grape Story, the businesses that I’m
deeper involved with, get deeper into the HR of 100 employees at VaynerMedia that I
haven’t gone as far with I wanna have that
personal connection with, dismantle the #AskGaryVee
Show through the winter and put out better and
better and better content, work closely with DRock to make a couple of killer, original videos,
work with you, Steve, to make WineDeals really
powerful, and I think we can, so those are some of the
things off the top of my head. Hopefully have my first really
exciting football season in five years, four years, I really am very optimistic, or maybe not, you’ll find out Friday on
my football preview show, and start the process, and most of all, number one, now put a
little personal in there, continue the workout regimen. I don’t know if you
noticed, but I’m starting to go into muscle gaining mode, and start the process of
hacking more time with the kids from a Monday through Friday standpoint than I have, whether
that’s walking to school, whether that’s coming home early. It’s not built into the infastructure this September, the way I wanted it to be, maybe because I got so much time in August that that didn’t populate,
but I’m definitely, in the same way that if
this show was going on the year before I started working out, I know it started right
when I started working out, you would’ve heard me talk a lot about working out, working out, working out. I’m a very smoke then
fire kind of individual, so I’m starting this smoke
on this kids hack thing, because the extremes are working, but I’m trying to find a little more time.

Question for you, is you
talk a lot about the use of Twitter Native Video
and I can personally say I’ve seen a lot of really
great results with engagement. It almost got my reamped about using the Twitter platform again. You foresee this type of
video response funtionality being built in natively
in some of the more common email clients anytime in the near future? Would this be practical
for someone like you who travels a lot and who has
a lot of mass email volume to go through? Would love to hear your
thoughts, thanks for your time. – Travis, way to keep it tight. He like went Bone Thugs on that. (laughs) Real fast. I watched Straight Out
Of Compton last night. – [Staphon] That was good. – Oh my god, I loved it. Loved it. (sighs) What I think is really interesting on that is I made, (laughs) I wish Erik
Kastner was here right now. Let’s show Kastner’s
Twitter profile @kastner. K-A-S-T-N-E-R Erik was the developer
that sat right next to me that helped me build up WineLibrary.com And I made a prediction to him in 2004 or five or six or seven that all email would be video in five to seven years. I’m glad we weren’t doing the
Ask #GaryVeeShow back then ’cause boy that highlight– The lowlights of this show, by the way, I can’t wait for the
lowlights in a couple years of all my wrong things in this ’cause those are fun too. (laughs) Not really. I think the answer’s no. I think that what people don’t realize is most people don’t want to be on camera. And this is a really interesting thing. Now, what’s happening right now with everybody growing
up in selfie culture and all these 15, 14, 13 year
olds just owning this move. I do think that behavior’s changing. And I do think that video’s upside over a 15 to 30 year period, 15 to 30 years from now, 15 through 30 years from now is very high because I think
we’re training youngsters, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, to be more out. (phone dings) To be more in front of the camera, it’s not this kind of thing anymore. I’m bullish on the concept. I do think email is ripe for a change in the next generation. I think, you know, Gmail’s gotten heavy, it started off lighter. I think there’s some real opportunity. I do think when you look at Slack and how people use that in
companies to communicate, I think a version of texting,
Twitter video and email, the Frankenstein of that,
eight, nine years from now has a real shot. And then there’s gonna be a technology we don’t understand, like holograms. Like Princess Leia pops up in Star Wars. I’d like that even better, I’d be like, yo, I could use my hands. It’d be great. So I think a lot of technology will come and I do think there’ll be change. I do think that video and email clients like Gmail and Apple mail is gonna be smaller than you think because people don’t
like to go that route. It actually takes longer and I think time is the biggest asset. I think people can type it
quicker than click, dah-dah-dah And I think we’re writing less. You know, a lot more emoji’s. These guys will probably
laugh right now. (laughs) My emails are tight. (laughs) They’re very much in the
K, LOL, Cool, Go, Yes, No I mean, I am keeping it tight. When I write two to three
sentences, people are like, Whoa. I think time is the biggest variable besides people’s non want
to be in picture form. Think of how many people don’t wanna take pictures of themselves. They don’t wanna see themselves. That’s a very big culture, underrated. Especially for the generation
that’s in the workforce now. The younger generation I think
will change that over time.

“that Meerkat and Periscope
are dominating streaming “while Twitch is being left in the dust?” – Joe, I can’t do that, my friend. I actually think your 13-year-old’s got your number here, my friend. So Twitch, which plays in
the e-sports kind of realm, in my opinion, is dramatically bigger than Meerkat and Periscope, where they have figured out
their content very easily, which is, it is now a foregone conclusion that million of people will
sit for trillions of hours and watch other people game. That is done. It’s over. Now we are in the beginning
stages of that 100%, meaning in 20 years, more people will watch the e-sports championship
than the world series. And it may not even be close. So, you know, I think your 13-year-old’s got
your number, mister. Now, will there be
personalities that break out on Periscope, Meerkat, Facebook Live, and have real great things happen? Absolutely. But, Twitch, you know,
it’s a concise value prop, and so it’s kind of like ESPN versus NBC. NBC’s at the mercy of original content and
stars breaking through, because they can go anywhere,
AKA Meerkat and Periscope. Twitch is varied full-down
into, this is the value prop, and it’s a big space, a la ESPN, like, people like sports, it’s
got its niche, it’s there. I actually think he’s got you cooked. It’s actually not even close. I think your 13-year-old
punked you in the face. (laughter)
